i.e. Debra Johnson’s username is JohnsDeb

The password for a new user is their employee ID number.

Once your account is verified you are logged onto your school server, additionally any files you save to your My Documents folder are actually being saved to your home directory H: located on the school server. If you are using a system laptop please save files to a USB so they are available when working offline.
